We are plopped into the vast unknown as the teenagers chosen for the new reality show Cut Off are beginning to realize that something may be horribly wrong. Our band of characters had to face so much in so little time, and we are there strung along with them– desperately trying to figure out the truth before everything falls apart. The survival bits were only the tip of the iceberg, and the story just continued to deepen and flourish after that.
So, of course I was immediately hooked by the synopsis, but I had no idea what I was in for. I’ve found this happening within these kinds of stories by accident (plane crash), foiled plans (hiking trip gone wrong), or in the case of this tale, a TV show with a sinister twist. Thank you so much to Edelweiss for the advanced copy of this imaginative novel! I have recently discovered that one of my favorite tropes in books is people trapped in the wilderness. Sci-fi, mystery, and romance converge in this high-stakes, fast-paced read that will leave you guessing to the very last moment. But what happens when “tapping out” doesn’t work and no one comes to save you? What happens when the whole world seemingly disappears while you’re stranded in the wild? Four teenagers must confront their greatest fears, their deepest secrets, and one another when they discover they are truly cut off from reality.
Not only that, new software creates a totally unprecedented television experience, allowing viewers to touch, see, and live everything along with the contestants. It’s a simple premise: whoever lasts the longest without “tapping out” wins a cash prize. When something goes horribly wrong and the contestants realize no one is coming to save them, they must question their very reality-and how much of the game is really for show.Įach contestant has their own reasons-and their own secrets-for joining the new virtual reality show CUT/OFF that places a group of teenagers alone in the wilderness. Warcross meets Lost in this haunting young adult sci-fi thriller in which teens compete to survive in the wilderness for one million dollars on a new virtual reality show.
